A finish!
Last friday I was happy dancing because I finally have a finish. It only took my 3 months in the year :-) As you probably guessed my finish is the Animal SAL from the CSL group. This SAL actually finished a while ago, but I was way behind.
RAK'ed
Emily sent me a pattern she had recently finished, in case the little one I'm expecting is a girl. She even sent some floss! I still don't know it's gender but strangely enough everyone (except for my mother) who has taken a guess to the baby's gender thinks it's a girl.
Not really a RAK but a very nice gift from one of my co-workers who knitted a blanket
Egyptian Empire
I've been stitching a little more on Egypt, the stitches on Toetanchamon are finished, but he still requieres a lot (really a lot!) of backstitches, most of them in the so loved gold metallic.
Winnie the Pooh Calender
Sunday evening, I finished the last backstitch on Tigger (March). With that finished I have my second finish of the year! Here's a detail of the last two months and a pic of the whole calender.
Pooh and Friends is a counted cross-stitch kit from Vervaco: 2575/70.910 stitched on a 14 ct Aïda. Finished size: 25 x45 cm (14" x 18").

Pregnancy update
Monday, it turned it I already have some contractions, since I'm only 32 weeks along, that's way to early :( So now I'm on meds to stop the contractions, and I need to rest as much as possible. Please tell the baby it needs to wait to come into the world!
Since I have to take things easy, and try to keep bed-rest, I decided to try to stitch some little things (the pattern for Egypt is just a 'tiny little bit' to big work with :-) ) and decided on some biscornus. I've finished these two, one with a button and one without. The motives are 25x25 stitches, so these are real small ones. I've got one more to put together, a slighty bigger one 37x37 stitches
Someone asked me if I was going to make a baby afghan, that made me think about it :-) I'm in doubt if I have enough skill to make a beautifull afghan, but the question certainly made me interested in them! Unfortunately, it's not something I can find in my LNS, so it would mean some overseas shopping. I've been looking at 123stitch, and would prefer a kit, so I'm sure I have all the right things. But which to chose?; which ones do you like the most?
1 Snoozy Day
2 Pooh with bees
3 Eeyore
4 Sleepy Bunnies
5 Sweet Animal
6 B is for Baby
7 I have another idea...
For those following my pregnancy, I'm still and the meds to stop contractions, hopefully I'll know more soon, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed - praying - hoping that baby stays put where it is for a week or 4-5 more :)
